Although he was already a commander much loved by his soldiers in the military camp, in front of Wei Ruo and the others, he still couldn’t hide his boyish side.

Wei Ruo smiled and said, “One of the reasons I came to see you today was to ask what medicinal herbs you still need. Later, just tell me which medicines you use the most, and I’ll prepare more.”

“Alright!” Xu Zhengyong nodded vigorously.

Xiumei couldn’t help but say, “Miss may not mind the cost of medicine, but she cares about you. So if you can avoid getting hurt, then don’t get hurt. If you can avoid needing medicine, then don’t use it. It’s best if every time is like this one—coming back safe and sound.”

Hearing this, Xu Zhengyong first showed a happy smile from being cared for, then his expression turned serious as he replied, “Of course I don’t want to get injured either. I wish I had more strength to kill more Japanese pirates, but on the battlefield, blades have no eyes. Sometimes, no matter how skilled you are, you still can’t avoid it. Like this time, Lord Wei…”

When Wei Mingting was mentioned, Xu Zhengyong quickly asked Wei Ruo, “Sister Ruo’er, how is Lord Wei now?”

“His condition has stabilized, and he regained consciousness yesterday afternoon. Now he just needs to take his medicine on time and rest,” Wei Ruo answered.

“That’s good!” Xu Zhengyong said happily. Then, as if thinking of something, he asked nervously, “Ruo’er, you weren’t exposed, right?”

Xu Zhengyong knew that for Wei Mingting to survive such severe injuries, Ruo’er had most likely stepped in.

So he was worried that Wei Ruo might have revealed her abilities. Not because he was overly cautious, but because aside from Wei Mingting, he didn’t trust the rest of the Wei family.

“Don’t worry. The physician who treated him this time, Physician Cheng, is someone I met while preventing an epidemic. He helped cover for me the whole time so no one noticed anything unusual.”

“That’s good. As long as you’re safe, I’m relieved!” Xu Zhengyong let out a long breath.

Then he said to Wei Ruo, “Ruo’er, are you staying for a meal today? My mother has saved some pickled mustard greens—she said she’d make braised pork with preserved vegetables for you. She won’t even let me touch it, even though I want to eat it.”

-pickled mustard greens

“You’re making me crave it,” Wei Ruo laughed.

“There’s also pickled vegetables with stir-fried spring bamboo shoots. Last year’s heavy snow damaged a lot of bamboo, but the ones that survived produced really thick and tender shoots. My father bought a lot yesterday when he passed by the brewery. Paired with my mother’s pickled radish—it’s absolutely amazing!” Xu Zhengyong continued vividly.

-pickled vegetables

Wei Ruo smiled. “Then I must try it. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had those dishes.”

The Wei family had come from the north, so their eating habits differed somewhat from those in the south. Although they had gradually adapted over the years, dishes like pickled vegetables and pickled mustard greens were still not common in their household.

Because of that, Wei Ruo hadn’t tasted them in a long time.

Hearing this, the nanny’s face lit up with a smile. She quickly put on an apron and headed toward the kitchen, calling out to Xu Zhengyong as she went, “Xiaoyong, bring some firewood to the kitchen! I’ll start cooking.”

“Alright!” Xu Zhengyong replied with a grin. Then he secretly said to Wei Ruo, “My mother hasn’t cooked for you in a long time, so she’s been thinking about it. She’s always worried you might not be used to the food elsewhere. Now that you’re staying for a meal, I bet she’ll make a whole table full of dishes.”

“I know.” How could Wei Ruo not understand her nanny’s feelings? It was just that, unfortunately, she didn’t have many chances now to stay by her side.
